My M16M1 replica is coming along. I hit a snag with my barrel though. Apparently, a 20" barrel with the A front post already installed is a tough item to find available. I ended up ordering a 20" barrel w/o the post, a post, a triangular hand guard "cup" (whatever thats called), and a retro straight delta ring and am in the process of having a gunsmith assemble all that for me. Im sure its going to cost me out the ***. Oh well.

This is what I have so far.
Anderson lower
Brownells A1 Retro upper (no casing deflector)
A1 stock from cheaper than dirt
A2 grip from a previous build (Ill replace it with a A1 grip as soon as I get my hands on one. Not much difference though)
Mil-Spec lower parts kit from Palmetto St Armory
Mil-Spec Bolt Carrier Group and Charging handle from Palmetto St Armory
Retro teardrop forward assist.
I even painted a rack number on the butt stock. My kids initial + her favorite number.

I have all the other parts, but I'm at a stand still till I get this barrel situation resolved.

I am an admitted certified gun nut and I own a few ARs but I've gone full circle The guns that excite me now have wood stocks or grips, blued metal, and designed by John Browning. It gets bonus points if it only holds one round.

Me too. I am always looking for the old A5's and love anything Browning makes 20 ga. I also love the older remington 1100 20 ga. They always fire! I have spent the money and gotten a couple Benelli's and I have issues out of the M2 20 ga..if you don't keep it squeeky clean it will hang up..the older guns don't do that nearly as often

1911's are my weakness. Surprised in the Benelli, my experience with mine are that they are bulletproof. I know a few people who have had issues with the Stoegers but you should be able to dip that Benelli in quick sand and it still work.

I'm sort of locking in

on the Savage 93r...I like the bull barrel.

I'll look at the Ruger.

Thanks.

BMT: not sure how long ago you made those purchases from Palmetto, but I've seen a ton of people on various sites complaining that their CC info was stolen shortly after purchasing thru PSA. Might want to keep an eye out for that.

So do you have a high power? To me, that is sex in handgun form.

Yes,one.My wife bought me a nickel plated one for our anniversary last year. I have small hands so most double stacks don't fit my hands but the High Power is a piece of art,I still like a 1911 better if I had to choose. IMO bull barrels on rimfires are just overkill and unwanted weight unless you plan to just sit at a bench and shoot the same hole. The Accu Trigger is a fine piece of engineering, the Ruger American has a similar trigger. I have shot both but never compared the two side by side to have a preference. I really like the 17 HMR, It is my rimfire of choice now. I rarely get a 22 out and shoot it other than pistols.
